Monk's Robe - Red

The roomy monk's robe is made of thick, coarsely woven cotton dyed rusty red (to symbolize guilt and sin) to contrast with the grey and black usually associated with monk's habits. The simple look underscores the power and religious superiority of its wearer, and the generously cut cowl adds a touch of mystery. The very wide, long robe (length approx. 152 cm from the shoulder seam to the hem) is belted with a matching red sash. The monk`s costume also provides protection from unpleasant weather.
